Like, I REALLY adore all of the art (even Hussnasty, which I thought was incredibly interesting!)

I even enjoy the stylization of the sprites, mostly because I kind of *got* that they were basically super deformed and not truly representative of reality from the get go? Like, I can see WHY some people wouldn't find the average aesthetically pleasing, but to say that HS as a whole is just GRUH SO NASTY is kind of ridiculous

His Hussnasty either falls into love or hate territory for me. The sprites are cute. I like the guest artists who try to match his pixel brush style like xamag, although I also wince a bit at the ones who do straight up fanart. The abrupt change of style just takes me out of whatever flash video I'm watching.

Personally I prefer his Hero Mode style panels the best, since they tend to be the ones that are accompanied by the OMG WOW backgrounds/colors. If anything I wish people would stop their hate about the exact way he draws the characters and just look at that COLOR. Seriously, the way he composes backgrounds and color schemes and just the contrast and mix of it all... that's where the mastery is for me.

Like 1:23 in Caliborn: Enter, it's the most simple color-blocked thing ever and yet IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. When the flash first came out, I seriously played that part over and over again... it was rather sad.

(Sorry for tl;dr ahead, I've just been itching to talk about Homestuck art!)

I also find the Homestuck art really gorgeous. It's definitely something you need to orient yourself into, but once you do, it's completely worth it. I agree wholeheartedly on the colour composition - maybe I'm biased because I've always liked high-contrast colorful palettes, but I think the way he does it is amazing. I often stop and look at the panels just to admire the gorgeousness.

Another thing I'm a sucker for is recurring visual motifs, and Hussie provides that in spades :) Just the way he transitions in flashes is really visually appealing, as well as the links between all the reoccurring images. And seriously, it's pretty obvious that he's pretty talented as an artist if you just look at all the careful detail in the way he draws, as well as his consistency in things like perspective and proportions. Homestuck is just deliberately stylized in a deceitfully simplistic manner, which confuses some people into thinking it's bad art.

(I say nothing of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, because there are no words.)

God, yes. Hussie is a MASTER of colour theory, intentionally or not! The first time I saw that exact moment, though, because it felt so relatively colourless from the last scene, it was instantly this giant pit of DREAD in my stomach. I was in love with the entire thing and horribly upset the whole time.

Also, you know, I can tell when the art isn't Hussie's, but it's never thrown me out. I guess that's probably because my brain is like "There are 100249070 different styles, anyway; look at the effect!" but I definitely get where you're coming from about that. It's always had a particularly striking effect on me when he's used guestartists.
